🚫The Iranian regime’s false messaging machine continues to falsely claim that it has sunk a U.S. aircraft carrier.

✅The TRUTH: The only carrier that has been hit is the Shahid Bagheri, an Iranian drone carrier. U.S. forces struck the ship within hours of launching Operation Epic Fury.

Today, the United States Military continues to carry out large-scale combat operations in Iran to eliminate the grave threats posed to America by this terrible terrorist regime.

Following our obliteration of Iran's nuclear program in Operation Midnight Hammer a short while ago, we warned Iran not to make any attempt to rebuild at a different location because they were unable to use the ones that we so powerfully blew up.

But they ignored those warnings and refused to cease their pursuit of nuclear weapons.

The regime’s conventional ballistic missile program was growing rapidly and dramatically. This posed a very clear and colossal threat to America and to our forces stationed overseas.

The regime already had missiles capable of reaching Europe and our bases, and it soon would have had missiles capable of reaching our beautiful America.

The purpose of this fast-growing missile program was to shield their nuclear weapons development and make it extraordinarily difficult for anyone to stop them from producing these highly forbidden nuclear weapons.

I'm very proud to have knocked out the Iran nuclear deal by President Barack Hussein Obama.

That was a horrible, horrible, dangerous document.

They would have had nuclear weapons three years ago and they would have used them. But I'll not let that happen.

For almost 47 years, this regime has been attacking the United States and killing Americans.

Every time you see someone with missing arms and legs or a face that's been absolutely shattered violently, it was almost certainly caused by an Iranian roadside bomb.

They were put there by General Soleimani, who was the father of the roadside bomb—very proudly, he thought—but I terminated him in my first term.

We are destroying Iran’s missile capabilities, and you see that happening on an hourly basis, along with their capacity to produce brand-new and pretty good ones.

Second, we’re annihilating their Navy. We’ve already knocked out 10 ships. They’re at the bottom of the sea.

From the beginning, we projected four to five weeks, but we have the capability to go far longer than that. We’ll do it.

Somebody said today — they said, “Oh well, the President wants to do it really quickly. After that, he’ll get bored.”

I don’t get bored. There’s nothing boring about this.

We projected four weeks to terminate the military leadership—and as you know—that was done in about an hour, so we’re ahead of schedule there by a lot.

Attacks on hospitals strike at life itself. Attacks on schools target a nation's future.

Targeting patients and children blatantly violates humanitarian principles. The world must condemn it.

I stand with my grieving nation. Iran will not remain silent or yield to these crimes.

On Saturday, Iran hit a military base in Bahrain with missiles and drones. There were 300 British personnel on the base, some within a few hundred yards of the strike.

Last night, a drone hit RF Akrotiri in Cyprus. There were no casualties in this strike.

It is important for me to say that our bases in Cyprus are not being used by US bombers.

The use of British bases is limited to the agreed defensive purposes.

We are not joining the U.S. and Israeli offensive strikes.

France and Germany are also prepared to enable U.S. action to destroy Iran’s capability to fire missiles and drones from the source.

Last night, U.S. B-1 bombers, struck deep inside Iran to degrade Iranian ballistic missile capabilities.

As the President stated, "we're going to destroy their missiles and raze their missile industry to the ground."
